    Perfect place for a snack , meal, dessert , your guilty cheat meal. You don't see that many Fosters Freeze and when you do I personally get the hankering for a shake , ice cream or a banana split . In downtown Danville of all places, this is great place for after game treats. They have a huge versatile menu and everyone in visit here it looks different and there are different new items in the window display also. Two ways to order your food 1. Outside window pickup like a carnival, festival or amusement park. They keep this location clean and presentable which is very appreciated. So many flavors, wide arrange from Red Bull to French fries. You can probably have a different thing here everyday for 2 months. It's in the same parking lot as the Nanking bistro Chinese restaurant and across from 11th tiger Thai thai. I think of FF as a franchise carnival eats fast food. You're not gonna get any thing real healthy here. The expansive menu is way more better than Dairy Queen DQ by far. I ordered the banana split and it was everything I wanted , super delicious. Not every place has a banana split so I order it every time I can. Lots of indulgence here for sure , not a place you frequent a lot but good for a young family and if you need something sweet. I wish they had more locations and a drive thru would be awesome.

    Fosters Freeze is known in the old days for their soft serve "ice cream" out of the machine. now, they sell all kinds of milk shakes, burgers & sandwiches. licks: soft serve vanilla ice cream (m.2.99) -didn't look all white, maybe there's some chocolate mixed in. -tasted slighty watery, maybe it's the mix. -it was satisfying though it wasn't what i imagine it would taste like...

    My first visit as an adult! I'm taking Mom's word for it that I've been here once as a kid, although I don't remember. Our visit was rather accidental, as the tea shop we wanted to visit turned out to be temp closed. So we walked a couple blocks for a treat here instead. For years, I've watched tweens and teens ride their bikes to and from Fosters, and now I understand why. During COVID, order at the right window and pick up at the window to the left. The staff member assisting us was wearing a mask. We got a small oreo twister to share between two and it was the perfect sized treat with a good cookie to soft serve ratio. This is a cute date spot or somewhere to take the kids/meet up with friends for an after school ice cream. If you're expecting anything else, you'll be disappointed. Will be back to try more twisters!

    "Ooooh, I feel good. I feel hungry!" So said our family friend when we went out to eat. Granted, in California's experiment in tyranny and mental illness in 2020, there were no places to sit down inside to eat in the Bay Area. But if you wanted to do takeout, your choices were slightly expanded, and they included Fosters Freeze. Fosters in Danville is like Nate n Al's in Beverly Hills: a comfortable old place serving old fashioned American food in an upscale neighborhood. It's out of place, think "American Graffiti" in the middle of "Home Alone." Which is fine by me, I never got into upscale dining. I do get into good food with good company, and you're more likely to relax with each other at a place like Fosters Freeze. Fosters majors on its ice cream and milkshakes, but it also has lots of burgers. And we were like the three bears (plus one): Papa Bear (moi) had the double decker, Mama Bear (our friend) had the normal cheeseburger, and Baby Bear (the girl) had the junior cheeseburger. The Hunny had to be different and had hers on Texas Toast. We all found our burgers to be good. I've had better, usually in non-chain restaurants. Patties are cooked medium well, and the cheese and bacon added together give it a hearty taste. Double Decker is a half-pounder. It's a little better than In-n-Out, which puts it at a cut above, not as good as Nation's. I didn't have the fries, but was told that the fries are also good. I think they usually have outdoor seating, but everything was different in 2020, so do not go inside, do not sit outside, do not pass GO, do not collect $200. I was able to breathe (read: no mask), and no one gave me grief about that. We drove to Hap Magee Park and ate there. I haven't been by Fosters during a school lunch time. San Ramon Valley High is nearby, and I would not be surprised if a lot of them walk here for lunch. If that turns you off, then be warned. If you prefer delectable edibles complete with Napa Valley vintage, you can find it in downtown Danville. If you just want a down-and-dirty burger, surprise, Fosters is here for you.

    the dino's enjoyed the chili fries as well

    I'm so happy I got my Foster's Freeze fix! I grew up in San Ramon and we used to go to the Foster's Freeze that was in Dublin back in the 90s (where Casa Orozco is now). I live in San Diego now and the closest Foster's Freeze to me is about a 25 minute drive. I had forgotten all about this one here in Danville until my sister reminded me about it. I forgot I had been to this location once before about 11 years ago! My brother-in-law and I stopped here this evening to get some dessert. I thought I'd try out the S'mores Twister. It was alright but I regret not getting a Butterfinger Twister or the Worms N' Dirt one instead. I love how Foster's Freeze has all the old signs and posters. It's nice to have things look the same after all these years. In addition to desserts they also offer burgers, hot dogs and even fish & chips on their menu. I want to grab lunch here soon!

    Open 7 days a week!

    This Fosters Freeze is one of my favorite places to come and get a burger or some ice cream and take a load off. Admittedly they're a little old fashioned and can take a little bit longer to get your food ready, but it's well worth the wait. This Fosters Freeze has been here forever in down town Danville and it really is a staple of the community. The staff are really friendly and they always do their best to get you what you want. It's seems to be a favorite spot for a lot of the local classic car guys, so there's usually some beautiful car parked out front. This is also a really popular place with all the local kids and teens to come and get their sweet treats, so it really is a good mix of all the local crowd. I can't imagine Danville without this Fosters Freeze, so if you're in the area I would highly recommend giving them a try. Try the dipped cone! It's great!

The deep-fried squid (basically calamari) is just as good -- light, crispy, and not overly greasy. It's the kind of snack you order "to share" and then end up guarding. And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly.

We ordered from a tablet at the front and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd love to see them add in some outside seating as beyond the Starbucks, there's no seating in this shopping center. All in all, we may come back to order food but sadly it just wasn't a good match for the type of ice cream I enjoy.
